AS13009 — VDATA

AS13009 announces 25 IPv4 prefixes covering 31,744 addresses and 3 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

Thirty-two thousand addresses, one reverse name, and three different company names on one network.

What it's used for

• A United Kingdom managed-services and hosting provider. 32,000 addresses across 33 IPv4 prefixes, three IPv6 prefixes, and 100 observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• Netnames run UK-REDCENTRIC- dated 20000128, 20050331, 20081114, 20090630, 20100604 and 20110214.
• One block is UK-SYNERTECLTD-20150305, registered to Synertec Ltd.
• The AS handle is VDATA, matching neither the registrant nor any netname.
• One of eighteen sampled addresses answered: project-gw-hsrp.core.signposter.com.

Interesting

• Three company names attach to one network: the handle, the registrant, and a third inside the only reverse name that resolves. Managed-services providers grow by buying other companies, and each generation leaves its name in whichever field was cheapest to leave alone.
• The one address that answers is a router. hsrp is a first-hop redundancy protocol, so the label marks a gateway pair sharing one virtual address between them, and core places it in the backbone rather than at a customer edge. That single leaked hostname describes the network's shape better than the seventeen silences around it.
• Six dated netnames between 2000 and 2011 track allocations arriving every year or two, the pattern of a provider growing steadily rather than in jumps.
• 100 neighbours against 33 prefixes is a well-connected network for its size.
